The warmer temps are motivating me to incorporate a handful of fresh, of-the-moment trends into my summer looks, as well as get creative with my summer staples. This month, I’ve been bookmarking some of the coolest, fashion-forward summer outfits to get me inspired.

From chic and elevated everyday looks featuring summer basics to statement summer looks featuring color and prints, below I rounded up some super inspiring outfits that are worth trying over the next few months—incorporating a mix of both classics and trends. One thing’s for sure: the looks will unquestionably make you look like a fashion person in no time.

Pale Yellow Mini Dress + Statement Shell Necklaces + Thong Sandals

For the ultimate fashion girl look this summer, pair statement shell necklaces with a mini dress in this season’s of-the-moment butter yellow color trend. Chic and fashion-forward.

Shop the look:

Tank Top + Flowy Pants + Silk Scarf + Raffia Bag

Effortless white flowy pants are a summer essential. The coolest (and easiest) way to style them is with a simple black tank top and a silk scarf—tied around the hip and worn as a belt—like all the fashion girlies are wearing them this summer.

Shop the look:

Satin Shorts + Oversize Sweater + Jellies

Silky shorts are trending this summer (bonus if you can get them lace trimmed). Pair with an oversize sweatshirt or tee, and finish the look with trend-forward red jelly shoes. It’s a look that screams fashion person!

Shop the look:

White Embroidered Dress

When in doubt, throw on a white dress when the temperatures rise to a point that anything related to pants would be unbearable to wear. Opt for pretty embroidered styles this season to beat the heat in style.

Shop the look:

Jorts + Tank Top + Button-Down + Sleek Flats

Denim bermuda shorts or jorts are having a major moment this season. Get them low-rise and loose, and style with a simple white tank, a blue stripe button-down and sleek slingback flats to add polish to the casual pieces.

Shop the look:

Graphic Tee + Striped Pants + Thong Sandals

Summer is the perfect time to play with color and patterns. Striped blue pants are a favorite among the fashion set right now. Style with a cool graphic tee and thong sandals for a look that’s fun, playful, and full of personality.

Shop the look:

Tank Top + Sheer Skirt + Thong Sandals

The It-piece for summer 2025? A sheer skirt. There are so many cool styles on the market but we’re particularly drawn to this blue one. Style simply with a tank top and thong sandals for a fresh and fashion-forward summer look.

Shop the look:

Linen Vest + Matching Linen Skirt + Kitten Heel Mules

Nothing beats a linen matching vest and skirt when you want to look polished and put together in the heat. A black one will work for day or night. Style with kitten heel mules and oval sunglasses to finish the zero-effort-required look.
